This study aimed to identify and explore referred morbidity in a group of medicine freshmen. It is a serial transversal study, considering sex as independent variable and referred morbidity as a dependent one. Two hundred eighty eight medicine freshmen from Unicamp-Brazil have been investigated during three years. Data were collected by anamnesis and clinical semiology. Statistical analysis included comparisons of proportions according to the chi2 test at a significance level of 5%. Main results showed significant differences only on medicament consumption, with females consuming more than males.
